    Abstract

    The properties of indium nitride grown at various temperatures on c-plane sapphire and glass substrates, using remote plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition, have been investigated. The optical absorption spectra show a broad range of apparent band-gap values from approximately 2.3-0.9 eV, depending on the growth temperature. The influence of growth temperature on crystallinity, level of impurity incorporation, stoichiometry, and lattice distortion are analysed. The possible causes of the apparent band-gap shift in indium nitride are discussed.
